If you're reading this, it's safe to say you've either already seen the hit sequel to the 2008 bop that's been stuck in our heads ever since, or you're just super into ABBA. (relatable.) If you're anything like me, you go seriously HARD to this soundtrack.

Here are all 16 of the songs performed in the movie ranked from amazing, to the most belt-able song the island of Kalokairi has seen since 2008.

This sequel took my 'Money, Money, Money.'

Warning: This may or may not contain spoilers for 'Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.' If you haven't seen it yet, why are you even reading this?

"I Have A Dream"

This was such a sweet moment in the movie, but that's all it is — cute. Some song had to come last, so don't be surprised.

"One Of Us"

Dominic Cooper's vocals have come a long way since 'Lay All Your Love On Me.' But even Amanda Seyfried's soft soprano couldn't save one of my personal favorites from the bottom.

"My Love, My Life"

Everything about this song was pure. The moment Meryl appeared on screen, all was well. Though it's a delicate song with very little room for belting, at the end of the day, it's what you make of it. If I can make it work, you can too.

"The Name Of The Game"

Another repeat from the first film with a different feel to it. Sadly, the original is more belt-able.

"Andante, Andante"

Lily James is our music. Lily James is our song. But if Lily herself struggled to belt this, how could we not?

"Knowing Me, Knowing You"

If it weren't for Pierce Brosnan's solo after the first chorus, you wouldn't have seen this bop all the way up at number 11. But hey, he tried his best!

"I've Been Waiting For You"

Arguably Seyfried's most beautiful solo on the whole soundtrack, I'm going to leave this one up to you.

"Waterloo"

Young Harry didn't get enough credit for this. If this list ranked choreography, you know this would be No. 1.

"Dancing Queen"

Unlike a few of the other repeats, any and every version of this song will ALWAYS be the belting go-to.

"Fernando"

This doesn't even need a proper explanation, it's Cher.

"Angel Eyes"

The musical trio we never knew we needed. This song features the only Christine Baranski and Julie Walters solos on the whole album! One listen and you're hypnotized.

"Mamma Mia"

The slow build up only makes this more of a bop. This might just be the only movie repeat comparable to the original courtesy of Meryl.

"Why Did It Have To Be Me?"

If you can't belt to this, are you sure you even can belt?

This needs to be said: if you weren't fawning over young Bill then you're either incredibly strong or not into men.

"Kisses Of Fire"

Okay, okay. Hear me out. I'm seeking justice for this song. In the movie, this song's primary purpose is just for laughs. But don't be fooled. Have you listened to the full version on the soundtrack? Panos Mouzourakis gives the film and album the spice of greek flavor it so desperately needed. Don't listen to this while on the road because by the 2nd or 3rd full listen, it may affect your driving.

If at the 1:15 mark, you're not singing this at the top of your lungs, you probably hated this list.

"Super Trouper"

Everyone, past and present, in ONE song? Yes please.

"When I Kissed The Teacher"

If even Donna's professor couldn't help but run out of the graduation belting out this jam, how can you?

If you disagree, are you really belting out your heart and soul into every song?

Side note: This was rearranged over two dozen times because of how difficult it is to rank this.
